The purpose of the WEAO Queen’s Student Chapter is to connect students to the water industry, promote student interest in the water environment, and to educate the Queen’s community of future leaders and innovators about important water and environmental issues that have a local and global impact through organizing various events. These events include informative documentary screenings, speaker series, treatment plant tours, open discussion forums, and fundraisers for Water for People. WEAO Queen's Chapter is also dedicated promoting hands-on design experience and bringing together students who have an interest in wastewater treatment and water pollution control through participating in the annual WEAO Student Design Competition.
